Fellow tech lover. https://community.pl...-to-technician/ This might be useful:)

Mine is called lollipop, it's my main mech, I luv' it !

tricks _ dunno...
- try to heal behind covers
- keep an eye on your radar specially if there are heat canon infil' or raider on the other team
- stick to fatboyz or Assault
- don't try to heal top tier players that doesn't need you (in mixed MMR match, Assault smurf accounts with 2300mmr, unless you can keep-up with them)
- don't pick your techie in a Scout+pred'+infil'+sharpshooter team, you'll be useless
- it's sad to say but leave suicide players alone, try to heal them will only result in 2x kills for the other team
- learn to dodge-run (almost as fast as running and you can continue healing, it's a bit tricky but sometimes it works)

My loadout is :
items :
shields x2
wall x1
internal :
evasive device
fuel converter
basic deflectors
basic reconstructor

It's not the best loadout but I didn't pay attention. I also have 2x detonator for fun and I've seen awesome ninja techies, I'd love to know their loadout

A fun thing to do is to try to have a KD > 1 :-P

EDIT : and RPR as gun !

Mine is called Hawken's Bane........oh wait, I don't have one.

The good old Chill-Pill.

I call this set-up the "Selfish Tech", seeing as it relies on you doing damage and surviving.

ITEMS:

Blockade MKII; these are your most valuable tool. Remember, as a tech your main priority is to keep your team alive. Bloccade helps your team and yourself not get shot. If you're low on health and in the middle of combat, drop a blockade and heal yourself off of it. It's slower than repair, but if someone comes running with 10% health and chased by a scout or infil, the faster you can green-beam in him the better.

Detonator MKII: For the rare times when you do need to defend yourself (or, like me, rush in head first ) your team will appreciate you being able to stand on your own. Don't give the enemy team a free kill. Also, it doesn't really matter if you go down to 10% health. You're a tech, you got the repair torch! Just stay alive until your team gets to you and beam off of them.

INTERNALS:

Aircompressor : Best way to keep alive_ Don't get hit. Get air-doge and become a Miskito today!

Replenisher: Green-beam is your best friend, you gotta learn when and how to use it best. whether your gren or incin is pushing and he needs that extra support and push the enemy out of AA, or you wanna top your team back up and running in fear of flanking scouts, it's always better to have more, hence the replenishes.

GUNS (oh yeaaa! *flexes*)

RPR: Good damage and accuracy, best mach for every selfish tech.


Lastly, get your stile down. Are you a sticky tech (one c-class and one c-class only)_ A selfish tech (brofist)_ A medic (get to me and I'll heal you!)_ Butter tech (aka overly enthusiastic tech, heal ALL THE THINGS but olny untill 75% health)_ Canon-fodder (I'LL SAVE Y-Blarggg)_

Basically, what I'm saying is know what you are doing, don't go switching around. Be where your team expects you to be, and be there when they need it most (and go green on their burning metal butt).

Hello FirstRaven

Here is my normal Techloadout on my Mainaccount

Main Loadout

Spoiler

Items 2x Heal Orb - 2x Shield
Internals Air Compressor - Replenisher

Second Loadout (agressive)

Spoiler

Items 3x Heal Orbs - 1x EMP
Internals Air Compressor - Deflector - Shock Coil

I use this combination for Scrims or extremly tough opponent, so i can help my team with more heal orbs and support in crucial moment with EMP for a rush or to take down a tough incinerator, Grenadier around corner, so i shoot it around using the wall.

If you have a agressive Team, intense game againts good enemy and a lot to heal, you can reach something like this too in TDM, this is my Healing Record so far, i belive, it's my Smurf Account. I was focusing only on heal, thats rare even for me, but i needed my full strength to keep my teammates alive



I'am playing mostly Technician, 50-55% of my playtime is only with that mech, so i'am kind of specialized. [correctect, its 50-55%, not 70%, sorry]

Tipps

Spoiler

1. watch the radar, warn your mates

2. maintain healing while watching the sidelines (use 110 FOV)

3. use cover while healing your mates, block most of the sightlines with your position

4. keep your eye on Scoreboard to know, if there is any Predator/Infiltrator, some player have bad habits like doing the same all the time, use it to counter them (Origin attack from the back/jumping plattform right/left)

5. use your damn ear, don't hear music while playing, if you know where your mates are and you hear a jumping plattform, you know, this is the enemy! Warn your mates

6. retreat if you have to, as easy as that

7. use the air compressor to get to specific area with pinpoint accuracy, or to not block the path of C-Class (Origin AA)

8. don't stop, dodge the whole game if you standing in the open (Bunker/Last eco), but only if the enemy already know where you are, until then just walk right/left

9. you can keep healbeam alive while dodging, so you can maintain it while C-Class is boosting away from you, just move your camera a little bit and dodge behind the C-Class boosting away from you

10. most important in tdm, if your team is mostly out of danger, heal the A class first!!! 1 or 2 shots can destroy them, so in a game where numbers matters, this can be a pain if they die like...

11. let some "special" players alone, heal them only if they are near your team (infiltrator/Predator), they will take care of themself, they need time and _space_ to flank the enemy, they will strike if the time is right. If you try to heal them or follow them because they are somehow kill/point leaer, so you try to keep them alive, you will ruing their game and tactics, this is important

12. most predators have internals to heal themself, if they are out of combat for 10 seconds, so don't heal them in the middle of the battle, if they are using cloak and the enemy don't know where tehy are

13. be a shield, sometimes you can block incoming tow/grenades with your mech, to keep a teammates alive, so he survive, but you too, do it only, if you have mostly full health, or you both could die (maybe this can be a fatal blow in siege AA)

14. if someone retreat too far away to heal and your mates in the front are fighting, don't try to heal him, let him alone behind cover, heal himself, help your mates in the front to keep the position, if you don't and they hink you heal them, can lead to a fatal blow on your side, just 5 seconds can break your team, mark these words

Kind Regards,
Galaxy Radio

[SoldierHobbes11]

The internals I use are just the compressor so I can still maneuver well since I lack heavy weapons, and a Replenisher so I can use my ability to save my teammates more often.

[ZeroSteelfist]

I'm just starting with a Tech as a second to my Assault, I find each has a benefit depending on the team I am with and the way the match is going. Glad to see some loadout suggestions here as I am not sure how exactly I want to get it together. Right now I am working on staying close but not being underfoot and blocking team movement in combat. It would be nice if there were some Tech specific internals to help us do our best. Maybe a little D%+ when healing or a range + to the healing.

EDIT: After a long time contemplating it I am not sure if the Tech really fits into the game well or not. I like having the option and Tech is fun to play, but it really changes the gameplay.
